Now, Hearihis ... CREA Artists to Watch

She initially concentrated on writing and placing songs. In fact, she has written material for Queen Latifah.Then fate stepped up to the plate. Now singer/ songwriter Crea is busy performing and promoting songs from her solo debut, "Mystory. "The project was released June 1 through EMI -distributed Aezra Records. Crea penned all the lyrics, working primarily with her manager/ producer Sa -Ra. Born in Alabama and based in Long Beach, Calif., Crea began singing and playing guitar in elementary school. Her brand of alternative soul carries a conversational tone reflective of such musical influences as Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye and Talib Kweli. A prime example of Crea's creative fusion is "U Lied," the lead single from "Mystory." The song, in which she confronts a deceitful lover, was a featured track on iTunes Music Store's free "Single of the Week" download promotion for emerging talent. "Radio has changed,"Crea says, "so it's hard to get real music on the map. A lot of soul and adult-contemporary artists don't get the ACM Bash Several winners of the 2004 Academy of Country Music Awards gathered at the RCA LabeII Group post - acknowledgement they deserve.
